Hello, all: I have a collection of several SWININGTON names from Hillsborough Co., several of which have not yet been tied together completely. I'm hoping to find more records that will give definite relationships. The surname was sometimes recorded as SWINNINGTON, and originates from the SWINERTON/SWINNERTON family of Massachusetts. Although family members are most prominent in Mont Vernon and (South) Lyndeborough, they are recorded in Amherst, Francestown, and Greenfield as well. I understand that there may be a SWINNINGTON burial site on Old Wilton Road, Mont Vernon, and would appreciate knowing more about that cemetery, and the possibility of any grave transcriptions that might be available. Many years ago, during a visit to the area, I came across the grave of Phebe F. Swinington (Died November 4, 1891) at a large cemetery just outside Francestown. For whatever reason, I have no record of the name of the cemetery! If anybody is searching the SWININGTON name, I will be very happy to hear from you. As well, if anybody happens across any references to the family in Hillsborough Co., or elsewhere for that matter, I will appreciate the information. Thank you, and happy hunting to all. Bill Swinarton, Scarborough, Ontario. ================== Note to Sue Gardner: I've been to your Pierce site and see that you have the Mrs. Phebe Pierce--Samuel Swinerton marriage. It's very possible that they are ancestors of at least some of the Hillsborough Co. names. ============== Subject: [NHHILLSB] Pierce - New England/New York Date: Sun, 17 Oct 1999 08:15:20 EDT From: SueG476@aol.com To: NHHILLSB-L@rootsweb.com Hello to all Pierce Searchers, I have been busily adding new data to the Pierce Surname Project for New England/New York.
